text me a vag pic posted:The Spengler wand has such satisfying switches, I love it. I'm working on a new pack for the wand, but I'm waiting on a v-hook from etsy. As for the different modes: the new Hasbro Proton M.O.D. also has though sound modes. Wonder if they'll show up in the movie or if it's just cheaper to re-use the clips. Nice! I really want a Proton Props pack with lights, sound and smoke. Regarding Afterlife, there were more snarky jokes in the first trailer. There will be jokes, but as people have said they aren't pitching the comedy stuff after 2016.

The actual jokes in Ghostbusters are really all Murray's job, that's his function in the cast. Everything else that's funny comes from the characters who are written to be absurd and funny just by being themselves, they're not "trying" to make jokes. Like, Louis doesn't know he's being funny, he's just Louis.

Exactly or Egon being the straight guy so much in GB2 he had a slinky but he straightened it. It's a joke but it's not him joking.

I get what you all are saying, but I'm still not satisfied as to why a comedy movie sequel isn't being marketed as a comedy. Is this gonna be like the last one, where you can't not like it without being lumped in with Gamergate freaks? I tried watching it and my spouse asked me to turn it off after 10-15 minutes.

I just watched II again last night for the first time in a few years, and, at first blush, I thought Moranis played Louis as a completely different character than he did in the first-much more nervous and less self assured. Then I realized, 90% of his scenes (the court room, asking Janine out, trying to be a Ghostbuster) are scenes when he's out of his element and extremely uncomfortable, so it does work. When he's telling the Snow White story to Oscar, that's very much in line with the Louis from the first movie.

Yea it's funny to think of Louis at the party from the first film as in his element, but he really was. He seems totally comfortable moving from person to person and making sure the brie is room temperature and greeting each guest at the door and taking their coats. He's goofy as hell but it's not because he's self-conscious or lacking confidence.

Karloff posted:They're leaning on the legacy stuff in the trailer because it's clearly a big part of the story and it's the director's son so it fits. The marketing is pitched away from the gags I suspect because they're probably spooked (pun intended) by the box office performance of the last film, which leant heavily on gags for its trailer.

I mean, it's no wonder he'd never seen a judicial restrangement order and was nervous. One does wonder what John Candy would have been like.

I feel like Candy would've been just as good in some aspects but there's a physical element to Louis as a character that only Moranis can embody so completely. He's the ultimate nebbish, whereas Candy was like a big cuddly teddy bear.

There isn't too much funny about the original 84 trailer. A lot of the jokes in Ghostbusters are only funny in context or delivery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hDkhw5Wkas e: hey wait i fixed the trailer now it s a comedy honk honk text me a vag pic fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Aug 13, 2021 |

I think there is a quality to Moranis being a shrimpy kinda smaller guy that fits the role better than the bigger John Candy would have. Not to say that Candy would have been bad, and maybe that's just my love for how perfect I think GB84 is, but I agree with the idea that Moranis is still the better pick for the role.

After I heard in the commentary that Candy wanted to play Louis Tully as German and breed Dachshunds or whatever... Rick Moranis was definitely the better choice. For as wild a normal guy as he is, and as wild as he gets to get when he's possessed, Louis grounds the film in the same way Dana does. He's weird, but ultimately harmless, and represents the normalcy that the Ghostbusters are both bucking against and trying to protect.

(The second got one vague smirk from me with the impotent proton pack stream gag, but everything else hit the floor like a wet turd.)

One of the best bits is him leaving his apartment to see what going on with this guy going to Dana's apartment and locking himself out, where he can't even really look at Peter, and just kind of stands by his door looking away. It's not like he's being his part self with a guy he doesn't know.

Taking my first step to becoming a Ghostbuster tomorrow. There will be a haunted hayride pulled behind a Ectomobile with terror dogs, Stay Puft, Slimer, and Vigo. There will also be goat yoga at some point. .

Apparently, the film has been somewhat privately screened at Cinemacon? Anyway, spoilers might be out there very soon.

Although first reactions often lean towards praise, these feel sincere (standard Ben Mekler gags aside), which is exciting to see especially as so much cynicism has been thrown at this one.

Halfway through the clip when he's at the hardware store, he's towering over the other guy. Looking it up, he was 6'2" and with his weight he was a lot more imposing than I realized. For some reason I never felt that way when he was interacting with Aykroyd, Steve Martin, etc.

It's probably somewhat rare that you could put three famous comedians together in a room and they'd all be over 6 feet.

text me a vag pic posted:Just finished weathering a modded Rubie/Spirit pack with the Spengler wand. I must have ordered the new pack like a day after seeing your post. First pic looks like you’re trying to recreate the OMNI cover. Since we’re doing Gear Chat: My pack was built by Sparky’s Prop Shop. I requested only light weathering and it does all the fancy things, lights, sounds, movie quotes, plays theme song and Savin the Day, plus the smoke exhaust after holding down the trigger long enough to activate the rumble mode “overheating” mode. Only thing is I wish the wand tip was telescopic. It’s largely 3D printed but I’ve been slowly replacing parts with metal / real components. GB prop building is so much fun. Sparky’s also made my (not 100% accurate) goggles. Trap is a modified Matty.   I’ve since replaced this suit with a 99% accurate one from Magnoli Clothiers plus correct elbow pads and some other improvements. I’m really hoping to be able to hit the premiere of Afterlife in full getup. I realize I might have to buy a ticket to keep my pack in the seat next to me.

At least it sounds like GB:A will normalize wireless traps so I'll be retroactively accurate! Also, I wasn't trying to mimic the OMNI cover, that's just where I hang the pack up on my big orange wall.
